Spectacular timber frame on 60 acres, private swimming pond & trails - Sleeps 8

This property is in Orange, Vermont where sugar maples abound. Enjoy fiery red, orange and yellow colors of fall foliage undisturbed from this spectacular, eco-friendly timber frame home set on 60+ acres. Relax while strolling around (or swimming!) in our private pond or hiking/biking on well-maintained single track mtn bike trails. Prepare meals in an our open-plan kitchen and serve them at the breakfast bar or on our large, country style dining room table. Take in the forest and mountain views from the deck, with a large table for outdoor dining. During the day your kids may enjoy exploring the brook or pond, playing board games, flying high on our rope swing or curling up with a book from our extensive children's book collection. Play ping pong in the basement and, on clear nights, enjoy the bright Milky Way as a perfect backdrop while you roast marshmallows from Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. This is a delightful spot to enjoy the quiet beauty of Vermont in any season.

Such a great property! We came for the eclipse but absolutely did not want to leave. The home was clean, well-equipped, cozy and perfect. Our hosts were communicative and lovely. I am looking forward to coming back again soon; our experience couldn’t have been better.

Wonderful time in beautiful, private location
Our group of 6: grandparent, parents, 3 kids had a great time staying here. Spacious home, beautiful surroundings, lots of room to roam around for the kids. Very peaceful and private. We loaded up on food for the week and large ate in the house. It’s somewhat of a drive to get to restaurants and attractions, but we didn’t mind.

Relaxing, quiet, sanctuary
Relaxing and quiet. beautiful views. Comfortable and nicely appointed amenities. Our short stay did not allow time or have the weather cooperate to explore the available trails but looked interesting. We spent quality family time removed from the hustle and bustle of the world. It was just what we needed.

Beautiful setting, super comfortable house
This was our second year at Rock Place and we had a wonderful time! The house is in the middle of nowhere in the best possible way. Our young adults and dogs had space to roam, relax, and play. The Hannaford in nearby Barre had everything we could need grocery-wise, and we had dinner out one night at the Ladder One Grill, also in Barre. Burlington is a great day trip, and don’t forget the Ben and Jerry’s factory tour. (Pro tip: Book your tickets 2 weeks before you travel.) Or, be like us and hang out around the fire, on the deck, or by the pond and just enjoy nature with your favorite people then play some Rummikub after dinner. The house has all the linens and kitchen ware you need and the beds are super comfortable!

Amazing spot! We absolutely loved it.
Where do we begin? Genevieve and Colin's place was amazing. It was beautiful, spacious, welcoming, warming, and so comfortable. The pictures really don't do justice to the house and its surroundings. Our group of four got together to reconnect and work (a writing retreat). The hosts were amazingly prompt when communicating with us. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful and peaceful property
The house is so pretty, beautiful views from every room! Huge gorgeous property with a pond and trails on it. It’s a great place to be back to nature and enjoy only the sounds of birds, bugs and frogs from the pond. There’s lots of space for kids and dogs to run around. If you like reading that have a wonderful collection of books too. The hosts are very helpful and answer questions promptly and help solve any issues that may come up.
